egernia striolata

Hello can sombody please identify this skink? photo taken in the albury wodonga area.

Having read the albino jungle thread it got me thinking, what are the actual 100% confirmed albino species that have been found/bred in Australia. Not the "i have heard" there is one, but actual confirmed sightings, including any that have been found in eggs or hatched but not survived. We all...

I think it's a Cunningham's Skink but it should be called a Lucky skink from the look of it. Seemed happy enough when I put it down again Ted

Went up to Gunbower Island on the Murray with other naturalists from uni a few weeks ago for a bit of herping and birding. We were on the island for 4 or so days, got plenty of new birds and a couple of good herps... Found this long neck on the road before we'd even arrived, the island was a...

Firstly, Merry Christmas to everyone! My son, Nicholas, and I just returned from a quick camping trip out to the Warrumbungle National Park near the little town of Coonabarabran, NSW. This park is a 6-hour drive from Wollongong. We try to visit it at least once a year for its excellent...

Copied directly from my blog, so excuse the weird date references. This story takes place on the 8th and 9th of November, 2008. Let me know if I've misidentified anything. -- We left Mudgee and headed towards Warrumbungle National Park. Along the way we saw an eastern long-necked turtle on...

As I mentioned in the first post, we drove an enormous distance in a few days. That, of course, meant many hours of sitting in the car. Naturally, in the dry areas, we saw a fair number of animals on the road. Watching for these or occasional quick stops helped us pass the time while we drove...

I am trying to put together a full list of species that would be found in warrumbungles national park to save me having to look through my books, so just wondering, what species hae you seen there? thanks

I am back in a wintry Hobart at the moment. I have been working on an I.T. project here for many months and recently, had two more trips. Hobart is a great place so it is always nice to come back again. Most of the photos in this post were taken in late June and July and will include more...

As everyone knows, there is an incredible diversity of skinks in Australia. The species list at the moment exceeds 370 species. More species are added each year as a result of new discoveries or the splitting of species complexes. One of my favourite groups of skinks are members of the genus...

In all the years we have been keeping herps we have never really ever had any Scaley friends with legs so when it comes to lizards and skinks I am fairly ignorant which is why I hope someone can tell me the species of tskink this is? I was clearing some wood in my back yard and when I lifted a...

My work commitments in Tasmania have sadly come to a close. I have had a great time in the past year with frequent trips to Hobart. My wife often accompanied me and this has felt much like a working holiday. On occasion, I was able to take a break and we would hire a car and head to the wild...

In October, 2006, I went on a quick trip to far western New South Wales. While there, I spent a couple of nights at Mutawintji National Park. This park is located north of the Barrier Highway between Wilcannia and Broken Hill. Mutawintji is a beautiful park that protects rugged gorges some of...

We are going to lightning ridge these holidays and i was just wondering what people have seen out there, if anyone has pics of herps or landscape please post thanks P.S i got some records of wildlife atlas to get a general idea but there may be some mistakes in it or stuff found out there...

Hello there, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, but I need some help with identifying the following three reptiles that I photographed/filmed during my holiday in Australia: Reptile 1: I think this is an Asian House Gecko, but I'd like to be sure...

In the last few months, I have had a number of work-related trips to Tasmania. Most of the time, I have been too busy to get out but on a couple of occasions, I hired a car and headed drove to nearby national parks. In early November, I spent part of a day in the Port Arthur area and walked...

Hi all :D I just got back from a couple of weeks in Mallacoota (near the NSW border) and thought I'd share a couple of pics I took whilst I was there. My highlight was when I was fishing in a cove I'd taken a small boat over to, only to have a young red belly black snake swim across the...

i am wanting some tree skinks mick

Last week I posted about possible sexual dimorphism in Gidgee Skinks. I think I was way off the mark, the white underside must have been a precursor to shedding because now my male? has a salmony colour underbelly as well. After his shed that is. Anyway I thought I'd try a method of sexing...

Took a trip to the ARC in Canberra yesterday, and thought I'd share some piccies... First one is my kids with one of his stimmies, then Mulga snake, Tiger snakes, Inland Taipan, last one is a Bredli getting a massage from a tree skink, lol very cute. I have some more if ya want them.. just...

Can anyone identify this lizard for me? It was found in a back yard in SE Qld.

I've been in Italy for the last 3 weeks (came back a week earlier because some idiot managed to lose one of my red bellies in the shed) visiting family and all that and I have a few photos of some skinks I found.. Found this guy near the Colloseum. This was at the Forum. Very bad...

I have done a bit of herping along the renmark-wentworth rd. Its dirty, dusty and almost out of season but I have got some good shots. On of the features is the enormous amount of termites around, I'm sure that a wander along this road in spring would result in heaps of sightings. Got a few...
